La Fritanguera

"It’s the closest Nicaraguan restaurant from where I live and to my dismay the food is expensive and not good. The Nicaraguan restaurants in San Francisco have better food."

"The service is great, very attentive. The food we ordered was delicious, steak plate, shrimp plate, maduros and guava mimosas! Yes please, very good, we’ll be back"

"Great Nicaraguan food in East Bay. Many traditional favorites are available including Nacatamales and of course Fritanga translates into mix of friend food including plantains, pork , cheese and grilled steak and chicken. They also have a variety of traditional fresh juices and cacao which is a chocolate milk drink. We opted for Nicaraguan beer Toña which is a crisp and light pilsner style. Place has both indoor and outdoor seating and there is plenty of free outdoor parking. It is a modest place but service is friendly and attentive. Good latin American spot to try. Look forward to trying their other dishes on my next visit."

"Everything about this place is phenomenal! The customer service, the authentic food, location, live music on occasions, outdoor seating and did I mention how good the food is?! I would eat here every day if I could! If you have never tried Niguragua food this is a great start. The queso Frito (fried cheese) is my must try recommendation! And don't forget the plantains"

"I was wandering around when I was stuck waiting nearby for my car. This was a great find! Food was fresh, portion was good, price is great! Service was fantastic! I can’t wait to go back and try the other dishes. Update: ordered the same dish again. The cabbage was a little tart/too much vinegar or something. The chicken didn’t really look as pretty as the first time when I ordered it. But it was still tasty. You definitely need a thick jacket if you dine in. It was freezing inside. I went on a Wednesday afternoon. Customer service was good."
